So hast du ganz und gar vergessen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
So hast du ganz und gar vergessen,
Daß ich so lang dein Herz besessen,
Dein Herzchen so süß und so falsch und so klein,
Es kann nirgend was süßres [und]1 falscheres sein.

So hast du die Lieb und das Leid vergessen,
Die das Herz mir täten zusammenpressen.
Ich weiß nicht, war Liebe größer als Leid?
Ich weiß nur, sie waren groß alle beid!

Dimenticar, ben mio, come hai potuto
 (Sung text for setting by A. Ponchielli)
 Matches base text
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Dimenticar, ben mio, come hai potuto
Che il tuo cor tanto tempo ho posseduto?
Quel cor si falso e caro! Ove trovare
Cose che sien più false e insiem più care?

Come hai l'amore e il duolo dimenticato
Che tanto tempo il cor m'hanno straziato?
Io non saprei dei due qual fu il maggior:
So che grande fu il duolo, grande l'amor!
